| - | TBC | + | The Party brave the dangers of the Blood Forest to reach the hive of the Green Mantoi where they are employed to carry Dara Elm's eggs to Strossbourg, where a Professor from the school of Unification has agreed to fertilise them. |
| + | |||
| + | In Strossbourg they find that Professor Ruger has not yet returned from a field trip and are forced to trek across the countryside battling bugs and raiders, before rescuing the academic from enslavement to a crippled Spider Anomaly. The liberated Ruger conducts a ritual with all present contributing their vital essences to the process- the strength of the party overcomes some mystic barrier that was enforcing the Mantoi's sterility. Conroy exchanges his sac of eggs with a happy Ruger and with guts full of fertilised eggs/cheap liqour they head homewards. | ||

| + | Reaching Strossbourg they find that the city has been quarantined due to a mysterious plague. Uncertain of when their eggs will start hatching, the party resolve to handle the plague themselves, with the assistance of a purification alchemist who supplies them with enough Purging potion to venture more safely into the quarantine zone. Using watch contacts and detective work Conroy determines a likely point of origin for the sickness, and bribing some corrupt guards they are allowed inside. After dealing with some unfortunate plague zombies they find the Valyddi godling responsible and after some ethical agonising (and a bit of a chase) dispatch the rotter. The divine plague cured they get the first ship back through the Gate to Acryn | ||

| + | Heading back to the Hive they are beset by a group of Grey Cloak mercenaries who apparently have been hired to secure an egg sample for a mysterious employer. There is a spot of violence, but after the bolshiest merc is put down they are able to convince the rest to let them on their way. Returning to the Hive however they detect something wrong with the play of light through the tunnels and reaching Dara she reveals that something appears to be attacking them from deep below. She encourages the group to flee with the eggs and meet up with the Tender priest who will safely remove the baby mantoi, but the party opts to stay and fight, defending their employer as shadowy tendrils pour into the chamber from the encroaching darkness. The party successfully hold back the shadows long enough for Dara to open a shaft to the surface. As daylight streams in the shadows melt away and this chamber appears to be secured. With Verro's engineering assistance Dara opens more shafts throughout the hive and soon enough the shadows are driven back into the depths below. The Tender priest returns and transfers the fertilised eggs from the adventurers back into the Mantoi Queen. Grateful for their assistance the Mantoi pay the adventurers everything promised and they spend an evening discussing good locations for future hives before setting out back to Acryn in the morning. | ||

| + | Aethyr stashes his icon of the Warmother in his cabinet of Valyddi items, whilst Verro sends a letter home letting them know of his adventure and alchemical discoveries. Those with contacts in Strossbourg reach out tentative feelers and find that their actions clearing up the plague have left them in fairly good standing, and Conroy reminds his liason in their Guard that he owes him one. Ozymandias spends his monies in acts of charity, attracting crowds (and concerned Watch officers) to hear his sermons on the love of the Dragons. | ||

| A Purging potion removes corruptive influences such as poisons and disease from the drinker. It can also reverse changes to the body caused by supernatural sources, so long as they are not too potent or extensive: such a cleansing is physically taxing and can even prove fatal. | A Purging potion removes corruptive influences such as poisons and disease from the drinker.

| The user declares a task and then inhales the fumes of the Focus potion whilst the intent is fresh in their mind. For the rest of the encounter they can perform the chosen task without any sort of mental distraction, calling IMMUNE to FEAR, ENRAGE, MESMERISE or DOMINATE. As a roleplaying effect those under the influence of a Focus potion find it hard to react to changes in their circumstances that don't immediately impact their task. | The user declares a task and then inhales the fumes of the Focus potion whilst the intent is fresh in their mind.
